The Journey Begins

After my obsessive lists i thought i should actually complete a blog that contains words in a sentence rather than simple statements. So here it is, ladies and gentlemen, words by melissa.

At the moment in my life i am at a very busy stage. It is odd, i am so busy yet i find myself with copious amounts of spare time in which i simply sit and stare at the full pages of my diary, attempting to learn by heart every meeting date, assignment deadline and working shift.

Certainly the most prominent date that stands out amongst the scribblings in my diary is the meeting i am attending on September the 19th... an interview for my Japanese exchange program. I am praying that i make it as this exchange will be a defining moment in my life. It is part of my journey that i feel compelled to live.

I have decided that this blog shall be my memory and diary in which i will communicate to home, from my life in Japan, that is if i am accepted! For now, i shall post whatever is on my heart. This blog is the beginning of my journey to Japan. I feel as if posting this is the start of it all, even though i have spent such a long time on application papers, this is where i have first shared my feelings with the world. It feels good...
